LOT
This is the third time we choose a Malvasia from 2005 for a Single Cask. Opting for the cask 83 b+c due to the good concentration of aromas and the impact of the initial sweetness in the mouth, but that fades with the high acidity and lasts for a long time in the mouth. These characteristics of the wine were greatly influenced by the fact that the cask has a capacity of only 450 liters, inferior than that which I usually use. This wine started the aging process in the warehouse (b) and after the fourth year it was transferred to the warehouse (c). In August 2019, 632 units have been filled, all individually numbered.
